Briardale Greens

Course was is really good conditions. Greens ran great! Pace of play under 2 hours front 9, then they started walkers on the back 9, in front of two foursome’s in front of us. Slowed down appreciably, though once everybody was moving pace was ok. Good day to play overall.

Early in the season Play!

Was happy to find a great course that was open early in the season. Fairways and greens seem to drain well as it had rained recently before I played. I will definitely return to Briardale often.

New golf friends

Hi,

I like playing at this golf course because it's open open and it's kind of old fashioned. Even though it might need some updating, it's still good to meet friends there and make new friends there and I love playing on the golf course and the staff is so friendly. Makes you almost feel home. Yes, I love playing this golf course.

Great course, Crowded

I’ve played this course a few times and it is always in great condition, mostly long and straight standard Ohio course. I think the tee times are booked a bit too close together considering the amount of beginners playing the course, pace was slow and the back 9 took >3 hours cause a very slow beginner group of four slid in front of us at the turn. But overall good

Not worth the price

Course is fine for beginners. Bar staff is fantastic, front desk staff and starters are very hit or miss. Range is fine, but you will be charged more than what is advertised at the front desk. I hate to post this because the course has some great employees, but I’ve just had too many poor experiences at the course now after hoping it would be a one-off bad experience.

The last three times I played I was a single stuck behind groups of 5 that would not let me play through, front desk informed me that the ‘ranger is doing their job’ and it happens to them when they play the course so there is nothing they can do about it. Maybe I’ve been lucky at every other course in the area, but I’ve never seen a group of 5.

At peak season they were charging $51 for 18, that is a fair price for a well maintained, well ran course. However, Briardale is far from that. There are few bunkers on the course not filled with rocks that will damage your clubs. The tee times are 7 minutes apart and will lead to lines on the tee box, the most I’ve seen is 4 groups waiting behind a group teeing off. Some rangers will let groups with tee times over an hour away get in front of you if they get in the line before you. I get it if it’s open and they happen to be there and ready, but this has not been the case on my visits.

This is the closest course to where I live, but I will happily drive away to spend my money elsewhere. I will not be spending anymore money this course. The course wants to pretend like it is a higher end course, but it simply is not.

Well Conditioned Muni

Course was well conditioned with great greens. Layout is nothing special as the land is flat. But if you are looking for a well conditioned muni that should build up your confidence than look no further.

Excellent course

This is an excellent course, especially for the money. The overall condition was great and exceeded expectations. Great tee boxes, great fairways and rough, and amazing greens. Literally the only negatives are the bunkers, which are thin dirt. Very playable out of the bunkers, but you have to use a different approach. This course will not disappoint
